Sidepit is an exchange. It is the brain-child of Jay Berg ex-Bloomberg, with a profound background in trading systems, blockchain and fintech. Its goal is to level the trading field by running a fair public open auction ever second.
aMUZE hit all its milestones as planned. It offered lyrics, artwork and original music generation with the help of AI on its website, amuze.ai. We built our own native music generation solution based on the code that won us our prize for our prototype. For lyrics and artwork generation we got very good results using existing solutions and lots of prompt engineering.
While fully engaged with launching my startup, I embarked on another life-changing journey: fatherhood. My son had a robust set of lungs and used them liberally. Quieting his outbursts was not only crucial but time-intensive. I was determined to find a solution.
aMUZE was an idea I had in 2015 as I was witnessing AI taking off. I thought that eventually music composition would be democratized and everyone would be able to generate original music with the help of artificial intelligence. In 2021 I developed a prototype for iOS which won CHF 150,000 in Switzerland. I went on to establish aMUZE as a spin-off.
Transformation of Vim into a fully-featured IDE using Tmux, NERDTree, and Vimscript, creating a multitasking environment with support for languages like C++, Python, Java, Js/Ts, and whatever else I happened to get my hands on at the time. Multiple coding windows through Tmux and code execution with language-specific shortcuts, accommodating virtually any programming language. Fun project, but eventually I moved to VSCode :)
